ABSTRACT:
A method and system for optimizing the transmission of VOD metadata is disclosed. VOD metadata can be filtered, processed and/or organized prior to being packetized for transmission to client devices. The filtering, processing and/or organization can, for example, be based on a time duration associated with VOD media items and/or by groups of information elements available within the sets of metadata.
